#Pitt comes back from a 6-point deficit to take set five 15-13 and win the match 3-2. Penn State was the better team in that set, but Olivia Babcock....there's a reason she's the NPOY. Babcock finished with 18 kills. Emmi Sellman had 19 for the Nittany Lions.

Man if this is the competition we have in spring, I cannot wait to see the volleyball being played in the fall.

Mallorie Meyer is just a dagger when serving.

Oh error by Penn State makes it a tie game. #Pitt still in this at 10-10.

Penn State has the 8-3 edge at the halfway point of the fifth set. The Nittany Lions are doing a good job of keeping #Pitt out of system.

We're heading into a fifth set. Penn State takes the fourth 25-23. #Pitt with it's best single-set hitting percentage of .261.

And set three goes to #Pitt with a score of 25-20. Still not the best hitting, but it's spring. Olivia Babcock leading everyone with 10 kills.

Olivia Babcock's back row offense is lethal even in the spring.

#Pitt takes the second set 25-20. New libero Emery Dupes closes it out with a service ace. Penn State had 10 errors though, which definitely helped the Panthers as they hit just .077. PSU's Emmi Sellman leads all players with 6 kills. Babcock and Gregoire behind her with 4.

I've been saying that it's going to be hard for Dan Fisher to keep Dalia Virlan off the court this upcoming season. She's showing why with a team-high four blocks.

Penn State takes the first set 25-15. #Pitt very much adjusting with this new squad, but it definitely improved as the set went on. Panthers with 6 errors to the Nittany Lions 2. Olivia Babcock unsurprisingly led all players with 4 kills.

Strong start for the reigning national champs, Penn State leads #Pitt 9-5 in the first set. The Panthers have two errors to their three kills. Not the prettiest start, but it is April.

First look at the 2025 #Pitt volleyball squad starts soon. Starters for the Panthers: L/DS Emery Dupes RS Olivia Babcock OH Blaire Bayless OH Sophie Gregoire MB Ryla Jones MB Bre Kelley S Haiti Tuatua'a

A programming note for this week’s #Pitt volleyball games: -I’ll be watching tonight’s game (7 pm on BTN) from home -I’ll be at football on Saturday so won’t be at VB’s 1 p.m. match with Ohio State -I’ll be at the Fitz on Sunday for the 1 p.m. match against Michigan

That’s another one. #Pitt down to just three scholarship players returning.
